The whole coaching staff would like to thank everyone that helped make this meet happen. Thank you to anyone that worked a throwing event or worked the concessions. We couldn't have done this without all of those people. We also would like to thank anyone that came to support our athletes as well. It was great to see the great turnout of people at the meet on Saturday.
